   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

   Author : Jorunn Hellman; [2020]
   Keywords : nutrient recovery; manure management; ecological sanitation; material flow analysis; East African agriculture;

   Abstract : The global agriculture of today is to a high degree dependent on mineral fertilisers that through a constant accumulation of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in the biosphere contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and eutrophication of water bodies. At the same time, agricultural productivity around the world is largely constrained by low inputs of plant nutrients. READ MORE

6. 5. Whole farm technical efficiency : the case of Ethiopian smallholders: time-variant stochastic frontier model

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Economics

   Author : Astewale Bimr Melaku; [2018]
   Keywords : smallholder farmers; technical efficiency; time-variant; Ethiopia;

   Abstract : This study uses a time-varying random-effects stochastic frontier model to estimate level of whole farm technical efficiency using 3,465 observations of sample smallholder farmers located in Tigray, Amhara, Oromia, and Southern Nation and Nationalities (SNNP) regions of Ethiopia. A baseline econometric analysis has been done by employing Corrected Ordinary Least Square (COLS) and cross-section data models prior to the panel data model analysis as a robustness check. READ MORE
